OSU football: Offensive line holds up well after shuffling again

STILLWATER — Oklahoma State left tackle Dylan Galloway returned to action unexpectedly last Saturday after an injury kept him out more than a month, but the redshirt junior held up well.

Perhaps better than he and his coach expected.

“I think he played better than what he thought he would, and what we thought he would just getting out there,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “And he felt good (Sunday), which was a good sign.”

Galloway hadn’t played since Sept. 21, when he suffered a right leg injury. He was suited up for Saturday’s win at Iowa State, but wasn’t expected to play.

However, when redshirt freshman right tackle Bryce Bray went down with an ankle injury, coaches approached Galloway about returning.

He entered at left tackle, with Teven Jenkins shifting back to his natural position at right tackle, where Bray had been playing.

Gundy told The Oklahoman on Monday that Bray’s injury is a typical ankle sprain, not the dreaded high ankle sprain, so he could return to action as soon as this week.

With Galloway back in the lineup, Bray would go back to the right guard spot he was playing before the offensive line was hit with a rash of injuries. He’s the third starter to miss significant time in the last four games.
